hi ppl i just started to try to get a shiny torchic and i was wondering how long it took u guys with soft resets for any pokemon like legendarys, starters, or like beldum?
Took me three days to get a black Rayquaza... there's no way i'm ever soft resetting for a shiny again. Annoyingly, my brother got a shiny Moltres on his first battle with it, it's entirely down to luck.
^^ZOMG Lucky! Articuno is my second favorite pokemon and I reset for one forever. I also tried for a shiny Mewtwo and got it after 5,000 something trys. But it's all down to luck, really.
I did that for Latias down at Southern Island a while back. Took about two months. That's the last time I do something that takes extravagant luck unless it's Fall. In the fall I am apparently very lucky. 5 shinies in one season... wow.
i'm going to try to get a shiny charmander so i can get me a super cool black Charizard
i hate things that go to luck because it might take forever....like beating the Elite 4 with only 2 pokemon over lvl 50 and the rest being less than 40
